Actually, I left it in on purpose. Yes, it happens to work right now, as
the packs are built with 0 compression and with 0 deltification.
However, there might be a day when we cannot guarantee anymore that a
single number padded with spaces to a certain width really makes the pack
grow by that many bytes. Then we would need something like test-genrandom
(which is substantially slower, though).
Interesting random note: it took me quite a while to figure out that both
pack.compression and pack.depth need to be set to 0. In hindsight, it is
obvious, but that does not really help the time I lost due to Windows'
slowness.
